Introduction about Tesco

A well-known grocery store chain in the UK is called Tesco. In addition to groceries, they have a large
assortment of household goods. Fresh produce, clothes, and electronics are all available. For
convenience, they also provide delivery services and internet shopping. Tesco makes shopping more
convenient by providing a range of delivery options. You have the option to have your groceries
delivered right to your door. Additionally, you can place an online order with them and pick up your
items from a nearby store using their Click and Collect service.
Purpose
Tesco wants to give its customers a dependable and easy shopping experience. By providing a large
selection of goods at reasonable costs, they hope to facilitate consumers' ability to purchase groceries
and other household necessities in one location. Their goal is to offer an extensive range of products.
Tesco wants to give its customers access to affordable, sustainable, and healthful food so they can
live easier and with greater quality of life.

Scope
.Tesco has a wide range of operations; it is currently the biggest retailer in the UK and intends to grow
into the US. As of right now, it ranks among the biggest food retailers globally, running about 2,381
locations and hiring over 326,000 workers. Europe and Asia already have sizable markets for it. Tesco
is a global business.

Size
In addition to China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico, and many other countries, they have
branches in over 14 countries. In all, they operate more than 2500 stores worldwide.

Legal Structure
Tesco is a global grocery and general merchandise retailer based in the United Kingdom. It functions
under the auspices of a public limited company, or PLC. Tesco is a PLC with shareholders who control
the business and a board of directors that manages day-to-day operations. Tesco is able to raise
money from the general public by selling shares on the stock market thanks to this structure.

Shareholders
Being a publicly traded company, Tesco has shareholders. People or entities that possess
shares of the company's stock are known as shareholders. As a result of their investments in
the business, they are entitled to a share of its profits. Dividend payments and possible future
appreciation in the value of their shares are advantages for shareholders.

Tesco’s Vision/Mission
Tesco wants to lead the world as the most environmentally friendly retailer. The sustainability targets that
Tesco has set are high. By 2025, they want to use only renewable energy, cut down on food waste, and have all
packaging completely recyclable. By 2050, they also want to be carbon neutral. With the aim of cutting
emissions, boosting local communities, and encouraging ethical sourcing, Tesco hopes to take the lead in
sustainability. Positive effects on society and the environment are what they are dedicated to achieving.

(Strength) large store network, a broad product selection, a strong brand reputation, an efficient
supply chain, highly skilled employees, sustainability initiatives, and a customer loyalty programme.

(Weakness) Over-reliance on the UK Market: Tesco's primary source of income is the UK market,
despite its global reach.Tesco's profit margins may be impacted by the fierce price competition it faces
from discount stores like Aldi and Lidl.
(Opportunities)Tesco may look into joint venture and cooperative opportunities with other retail or
tech companies. For instance, the business might work with a supplier to develop new product
offerings or with a technology company to enhance innovations in the retail industry.

(Threats) Problems with the supply chain: Tesco's operations and profitability are at risk from
shortages brought on by these problems. A recent health crisis disrupted the retailer's supply chain,
forcing it to place limits on what essential items a customer could purchase.

Introduction about Oxfam

An international organisation called Oxfam works to reduce injustice and poverty everywhere. Their areas of
focus include humanitarian crises, inequality, and climate change. Enhancing the lives of those in need and
bringing about long-lasting change are their goals.

Purpose
Aiding in the development of long-term remedies for the injustice of poverty is Oxfam's mission. They
are a part of a global reform movement that gives people the power to build a safe and prosperous
future. In times of emergency, we act quickly and remain to assist individuals in rebuilding their lives.

Scope
The scope of Oxfam's charitable work is pretty broad. Their areas of focus encompass poverty, inequality,
climate change, humanitarian crises, and the rights of women. Their goal is to tackle the underlying causes of
these issues and bring about long-lasting transformation in local communities globally. Promoting gender
equality and women's rights is a priority for Oxfam. Their objectives include empowering women and girls,
standing up for their rights, and removing the structural obstacles they encounter. Initiatives that advance
women's leadership, access to economic opportunities, healthcare, and education are supported by Oxfam.
Additionally, they seek to eradicate discrimination and violence against women.
Size
Less than 300 people work for the Oxfam International Secretariat worldwide. By contrast, the
affiliates of Oxfam employ about 10,000 people and have almost 50,000 interns and volunteers
working in 87 countries to combat poverty, and injustice, and save lives.

Legal Structure
The charity, its assets, and its operations are ultimately the legal responsibility of Oxfam's trustees.
They are the members of the Council of Trustees, which is the Association of Oxfam's (a non-profit
limited liability company) governing body.

Oxfam’s Vision & Mission

Everybody can prosper and lead a dignified life in a world free from poverty, according to Oxfam's
vision. Aiding in the development of long-term remedies for the injustice of poverty is Oxfam's mission.
Our involvement is a part of a worldwide movement for transformation, which enables individuals to
forge a safe and prosperous future. Combating poverty and injustice globally is Oxfam's mission.
They strive to support social change, humanitarian relief, and sustainable development.

(Strength)One of Oxfam's strengths as a charity is that it has specific objectives that it targets across
various nations. The altruism of these objectives has inspired contributors everywhere.

(Weakness) Acts fell short of its declarations. "Systemic weaknesses" were discovered, according to
the regulator, when it examined Oxfam's safeguarding practises more broadly. The primary cause of
this, according to the statement, was the charity's inadequate funding of its safeguarding department.

(Opportunities)Given that Oxfam has already set up online channels for communication. Through
advertising, it might start a fundraising campaign. It also has the chance to establish a name known for
itself as a retail establishment.
.

(Threats) The deaths of volunteers and staff in unsafe nations like Afghanistan have put Oxfam in
danger and reduced staff loyalty. Its physical retail stores and online stores both severely lack
customer motivation. A persistent decline in the calibre of goods sold at its retail locations is another
danger to it.
